Summary

It’s the middle of the night (if his calculations are correct, which they very well may not be, but hey, at least it’s dark out), but the lights are on. One in the foyer, a few peaking through the tiny kitchen windows, one in Vanya’s room and--

And one in his room.

Five spends four years in the apocalypse before he manages to make it home. Luckily, there are people who have spent every night since he left waiting for him to come back.

Summary

Growing up, Vanya had always been the odd one out, the “ordinary” child of the seven of them. Having no powers should have made it easier to blend in with the rest of the world but instead it made her stand out from the rest of the family. You would think that having no powers would mean that Vanya stayed out of trouble and avoided the lectures and punishments that her father gave out to deter her and her siblings from misbehaving. Six times Vanya tried to stand up for/be a good sister to her siblings and the one time they really pull through for her.
